Sewing tutorial: Shirred maxi sundress

I do love a maxi dress for summer!  from Farmhouse on Boone shows how you can sew one yourself, using elastic thread shirring to make a stretchy bodice.  The maxi length dress has sundress straps, a waist tie, and a full skirt with a ruffle.  The loose fit and full skirt are comfortable and fashionable to wear in the summer heat!
